A boundary integral equation method is proposed for the solution of viscous recirculating flows with free surfaces. In particular the method is applied to thermocapillary convection and to drop formation, both in micro-gravity conditions, the latter to test its capability to handle real unsteady problems. The presence of nonlinear terms in Navier-Stokes equations leads to a volume integral, which has to be approximated by a linearization procedure.
